CAGE strongly supports the geographical spread of sites, placing extraction close to the main areas of use and not concentrated in the Newark area. This minimises the environmental, social and economic impacts of extracting and transporting minerals and keeps users more aware of the adverse impacts they cause.
Sites will continue to be needed in the SW to service the very active Nottingham and Rushcliffe growth points. For S-Yorkshire quarries outside of Nottinghamshire, including Humber coastal extraction, may be more sustainable than those in central Nottinghamshire.
